Danit Sannikov - PeerSpot reviewer
Project manager at SII
Can be well-integrated with the existing systems in a company and is very intuitive to use
I once faced a problem with the tool, but I remember that I managed to work without a VPN, and then the problem with the product was sorted out somehow. An option to connect not only with the username and password but also through SMS in an easy manner is something that needs to be added to the tool. When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive. In other platforms, the user will have two options to connect, one of which is with a username and password, and the other one is with an SMS.

Reliable threat protection is achieved while integration and analysis capabilities need refinement
Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet. We haven't encountered a single breach after it's deployed. It controls USB devices and has a separate antivirus solution called Tetra, providing security even for real-time, day-zero attacks through its strong Talos threat intelligence platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use the solution for endpoint encryption and it handles everything, with security, a firewall within the workstation, and DLP within the solution and on the workstation, making use of 360-degree security on one's workstation."
"Its ability to provide a security layer of encryption that allows us to prevent unauthorized access to computers."
"It has addressed storage and data transfer demands efficiently."
"Its central management console has really made an impact on our organization."
"Check Point gives us the possibility of reaching each security goal we have and has been a strategic ally for our internal assurance and the security of our information within the organization."
"It keeps the devices well monitored."
"We haven't had anything related to threats pass through our system in the last five years."
"We never had any complaints about the performance of computers with this tool to be able to manage the protection of disks and drives."
"The ability to detonate a particular problem in a sandbox environment and understand what the effects are, is helpful. We're trying, for example, to determine, when people send information in, if an attachment is legitimate or not. You just have to open it. If you can do that in a secure sandbox environment, that's an invaluable feature. What you would do otherwise would be very risky and tedious."
"It is reasonably easy to remediate issues using Cisco Secure Endpoint, in part because I don't have to visit the physical machines to remediate them, and as such, the time it takes for remediation has been decreased."
"I am told that we get over 100 million emails a month. This filters them down and allows only somewhere about three million emails, which is a great help."
"The threat Grid with the ability to observe the sandboxing, analyze, and perform investigations of different malicious files has been great."
"Cisco Secure Endpoint is very good in machine learning, which allows it to secure offline contents even if not connected to the internet."
"I like that this program is very light on the computer and very powerful."
"There are several valuable features including strong prevention and exceptional reporting capabilities."
"I am really satisfied with the technical support."
 

Cons

"In the future, I would like to see is the ability to decrypt equipment."
"Sometimes the performance rates are not consistent."
"The tool should be able to recover data from a stolen device."
"They could improve the latency in the platform when entering the portal."
"When I changed the way I connect to the tool to the SMS option, I did it because I bought a new phone, and it had a problem connecting with the tool, after which I had to go to the settings to change it, so I felt it was not very intuitive."
"They should improve the interface and make it a little more user-friendly."
"I rate the support from Check Point Full Disk Encryption Software Blade a six out of ten."
"There are a few cases of security breaches when the networking system fails and can lead to malware attacks. The next release should focus more on data virtualization and support for all computing devices."
"I would like to see integration with Cisco Analytics."
"I would like more seamless integration, because I have a security solution based on Cisco and I'm looking at integration for the old solution."
"...the greatest value of all, would be to make the security into a single pane of glass. Whilst these products are largely integrated from a Talos perspective, they're not integrated from a portal perspective. For example, we have to look at an Umbrella portal and a separate AMP portal. We also have to look at a separate portal for the firewalls. If I could wave a magic wand and have one thing, I would put all the Cisco products into one, simple management portal."
"In the next release, I would for it to have back up abilities. I would like the ability to go back to a point in time to when my PC was uninfected and to the moment of when the infection happened."
"Integration and dashboard are areas with certain shortcomings in Cisco Secure Endpoint."
"At this moment, in terms of integration with other software, that could be helpful."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"It does not include encryption and decryption of local file shares."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As it costs $125 per workstation per year, something which is above the price of what the competition is charging, the solution is definitely too expensive."
"It can always be cheaper."
"The costs of 50 licenses of AMP for three years is around $9,360."
"Its price is fair for us."
"We can know if something bad is potentially happening instantaneously and prevent it from happening. We can go to a device and isolate it before it infects other devices. In our environment, that's millions of dollars saved in a matter of seconds."
"Cisco's pricing is reasonable. We also do not need to opt for niche players, which would have charged us significantly more than Cisco for ecosystem solutions. We are highly satisfied with the pricing structure of Cisco's solutions they are reasonable."
"In our case, it is a straightforward annual payment through our Enterprise Agreement."
"The price is very good."
"We have a license for 3,000 users and if we get up to 3,100 users, it doesn't stop working, but on the next renewal date you're supposed to go in there and add that extra 100 licenses. It's really good that they let you grow and expand and then pay for it. Sometimes, with other products, you overuse a license and they just don't work."
